What It's Like to be Popular?

Chapter 9

  I woke up to find myself in a hospital bed. My dad was in the corner crying.

  "What happened?"
  "Kayla you're awake!"
What the heck was happening!!!
  "Dad seriously what happened?"
  He sighed. "Well apparently according to the doctors they said you were in a coma and when you got into an accident you passed out."
  "How long has it been?"
  "Two months..."
  "TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!! Was I drunk or something?"
  "No you fell asleep or something in the car. But when the other car hit you in the back seat you fell into a coma."

  I didn't say anything I just stared at my feet. I was thinking did I have a huge dream. Does Peter really love next door? Is he my "official boyfriend?"

  "Can we go home?"
  "No not yet I'm going to go get the doctors!"

  So did Max really have a secret? I can't even figure out what was real and what wasn't!!!

  Just as I was thinking about him Max walks in.
  "Hey"
  "Oh hi Max..."

I feel really weird around him right now.

  "Um so... How long have you been awake?"

  "I honestly don't know." I laugh

  "Oh well I wanted to give this to you."
He hands me a real bag with white tissue paper.

  "What is it?"
  "It was for when you wake up but now that your up here you go."

  I take the bag and look at my hand and see juices going into my veins through a needle poked into my hand.

I peek into the present to see a gold and white dress.

"Oh my god this must've taken all your allowance money!!! Go return it!!!"
"No it's for you." He chuckles.
Crap I can't believe I made him spend all of his allowance money!

I was going home with Max because my dad said it was ok. I found out that the Medicos never moved next door, Max never had a secret, my dad was always ok with us being friends, Max wasn't gay, AND me and Peter were never dating and he never had any love interest. But I was still popular! CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooo!

"Um well do you have any secrets that you're keeping from me?"
"Huh...Oh no we are best friends why would I keep anything from you!"
"It is just because I have a really long dream while I was in a coma I guess."
  "Oh ok"
While I was driving into my neighborhood I see someone a little to familiar.
